Force of Friction

Problem #: 2 | Variant #: 2

A box is placed on a ramp which is flat on the ground. One end of the
ramp is raised until the box starts to slide. If the coefficient of static friction
between the box and the ramp is 0.5843, what is the angle of the ramp relative
to the ground?

NOTE: While these problems are made by a former University Physics professor and
are seen thousands of times a week, it is possible that there are typo's or other errors that
nobody has yet reported to be fixed. If you are convinced that there is a problem with the
solution to this question please send the details to doug@dctech.com
